    1. teaching hands-on genome assembly courses

      Another example is the Bauhinia Genome project that has used the crowdfunded genomics data to educated the public and teach MSc students at the Chinese University of Hong Kong genome assembly http://bauhiniagenome.hk/2018/03/crowdfunded-genomes-and-the-plant-genome-big-bang/

    2. even small research groups

      There have even been community funded genome projects such as the "peoples parrot" and Azolla genome project, with strong education components such as this one (although using short reads to make an initial draft genome) http://gigasciencejournal.com/blog/community-genomes-from-the-peoples-parrot-to-crowdfernding/

      Using hypothes.is this information can also be updated via annotations here. e.g. adding mention of Twist biosciences, whose Oligo pools are utilized in many CRISPR applications including generation of CRISPR guide RNA (sgRNA) libraries. See https://www.twistbioscience.com/products/oligopools

      Given that new methods, kits, and services continue to be rapidly developed and updated, an editable version we set up on Github wiki, and readers encourage to update it. See https://github.com/gigascience/paper-chen2014/wiki

    1. This must be achieved by sequencing and archiving huge numbers of microbial genomes, both from clinical cases and known environmental reservoirs, on a continual basis.

      Even without reference genomes, mining metagenomes for coronavirus sequences has become particularly topical in 2020. See the Pangolin 2019-nCoV-like coronavirus example https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.02.08.939660

    1. direct RNA sequencing. Despite the scientific relevance of VACV, no LRS data have been generated for the viral transcriptome to date.

      This approach of using Oxford Nanopore direct-RNA sequencing for viruses has now been carried out on the SARSCov2/COVID19 causing coronavirus. See https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.03.05.976167
